Intro This year my project was Extending obex-data-server with partial BIP support (Image Push and Remote Display features). BIP also defines other features: Image Pull, Advanced Image Printing, Automatic Archive and Remote Camera features. AFAIK there are no devices supporting the latter ones mainly because they were originally targeted at digital cameras and there were only 2 Bluetooth equipped cameras ever produced (and only one of them has partial BIP support). This happened because WLAN superseeded Bluetooth as the wireless solution for digital cameras. Implementation BIP client and server side support is now available in obex-data-server subversion trunk (svn://muiline.com/obex-data-server/trunk). There are two apps in test directory which can be used for testing. Fer testing server (Imaging Responder): ods-server-test.py bip /path/to/dir For testing client (Imaging Initiator): ods-bip-test.py <target_bluetooth_addr> <images_to_send>.. Some of options for ods-bip-test are: -p (send in format preferred by remote device), -r (use Remote Display mode, after sending images remote display commands can be issued interactively) Devices KODAK EasyShare V610 I bought this one in the beginning of summer hoping that it would support BIP. It turned out to only support OPP which was a total disappointment. Sony Ericsson K700i Surprisingly, some high-end Sony Ericsson phones support BIP (only Image Push) Imaging Responder. I mostly tested with this one. Phone also has an interesting feature called "Remote Screen". I was hoping it would use BIP Remote Display by default, but as it turns out, it used OPP. Disappointment once again. Nokia SU-5 This is called Bluetooth Digital Image Viewer. It definitely supports BIP, but it's not clear what features exactly. Bought it, but it hasn't shipped yet. Parrot Photo Viewer Also definitely supports BIP, but hasn't shipped yet. Never thought I would by a photo frame, cause it's so lame :D Some Symbian based phones also support BIP and that's pretty much it. Outro obex-data-server BIP support will be available in 0.4 version. There are still some things to be fixed and a lot of infrastructure changes needed to be made so we'll have to wait for this release a little bit.
